This year marks a significant milestone for MDF as we celebrate our 40th anniversary. Over the past four decades, we’ve evolved and grown, but one thing has remained constant: our commitment to building a unified organisation working towards positive change for a better world. To honour this journey, we’re thrilled to unveil a special 40th-anniversary video, a project that has been a collective effort from all our offices.

A lot of work went into creating this video. It was a mission that involved coordination across eight offices, each in a different country, working within unique local contexts. From the beginning, it was clear that this was going to be a challenging yet rewarding task. Every office embraced the responsibility with enthusiasm. What we have created together is something we are proud of – a visual representation of what it means to be One MDF.

Bringing our offices together

This project wasn’t just about creating a video; it was about bringing our people together. Our teams collaborated well, overcoming logistical challenges like scheduling across time zones and ensuring consistency in messaging. Office leaders played an essential role in organising the filming, ensuring their teams were prepared and motivated. The marketing team managed various meetings, guidelines, and timelines, ensuring everything came together smoothly.

More than just a celebration

At the core of this video is a simple yet powerful message: MDF is not just a group of offices around the world. We are a global family, committed to our mission of delivering quality training, consultancy, and facilitation services to our clients. Our people – the faces you’ll see in this video – are the driving force behind everything we do. They are the ones who, every day, help us build partnerships, develop solutions, and empower communities.

As we celebrate 40 years of MDF, we also look to the future. We are excited about what’s to come, and we remain committed to growing together as One MDF, continuing to support each other, our clients, and the communities we serve.

We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed creating it. Help us spread the word by sharing it with your network, and join us in celebrating 40 years of MDF!
